What kind of strength training do professional cyclists do off the bike?

Question

I’m a cyclist that wants to perform better. What off-the-bike strength training would enhance my cycling abilities in pro cyclists such as yourself?

Answer 1

Strength training is an integral aspect of e-cyclist routine consisting workouts for legs, core, glutes and hips. They are not only focused in biking and training, it is also necessary to carry out strength training and focus on nutrition aspects. Older cyclists are also observing their diet and general fitness when cycling.

Peter thank you so much for that.  I feel totally vindicated and will never listen to another critic.  At 74 years old I am up out of bed 3 days per week doing core strength.  I have been consistently on the mat for ~7 years with very little time off.
